"Alors il court à l’Hôtel de l 'Amiral. Le café est presque vide. Accoudée à la caisse, une fille de salle. Près d 'une table de marbre, deux hommes achèvent leur cigare, renversés en arrière, jambes étendues.
— Vite!... Un crime... Je ne sais pas...
Le douanier se retourne. Le chien jaune est entré sur ses talons et s 'est couché aux pieds de la fille de salle.
Il y a du flottement, un vague effroi dans l’air. "
"Le chien jaune " de Georges Simenon, 1931

“Passò il curato, mi chiese che leggessi e mi restituì il libro senza commentare. Dopo cena, però, il libro non lo trovai più. Il curato aveva parlato con la zia, che l 'aveva bruciato nella stufa. Avevano scoperto che Simenon era all 'indice”
